Thanks for sharing your feedback!
ISC DHCP is no longer maintained by ISC. We announced the final EOL in 2022. Some operating system packagers may still distribute ISC DHCP, but we are not aware of any significant, fully-maintained forks, so we recommend users migrate to ISC's Kea DHCP server, or another DHCP server. There are some resources that may help with migration located on the ISC web site.
The table below shows when each major branch of ISC DHCP was declared End of Life.
| Branch | Final EOL Date |
|---|---|
| 4.3 | July 2018 |
| 4.2.8 | Aug 2015 |
| 4.1.2-P1 | Apr 2011 * |
| 4.0.3 | 2011 |
| 3.1.3 | Mar 2010 |
| 3.1-ESV-R3 | Mar 2012 |
| 3.0.7 | Mar 2009 |
| 3.0.0-3.0.6 | Jan 2009 |
| 2.x | Nov 2004 |
| 1.x | Jun 1998 |
4.1-ESV release extended
Although the 4.1 branch should have reached end of support by now, we have continued to support it because it has a substantially smaller memory footprint than later versions. The older, smaller version is particularly useful in embedded environments.
Archives of older (as well as current) releases are maintained at ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp
